What would it be worth to see the face behind the keyboard?LOL. Some profit might have to go towards extra security, but man, the story lines that would come after that event would be priceless!:chairshot:
Fundraiser idea-Rivals.com-"name tag dinner".
- Thread starter ruready4somefootball
- Start date
Extra security???? Hell, I think some posters would have to come wearing a straight jacket!
The question is ... who gets to make the seating chart?
How many different name tags would the trolls need. It probably takes half a dozen to get around everyone's ignore option.
@MrsScrew
...no doubt she is the ONLY one who could seat us, accordingly, so as to not turn this into a good ol' fashioned rumble LOL!
Seriously though people have wanted to do the "name tag" thing, at my/our bowl game parties, but I've always shot down the idea because, believe it or not, you meet people, you get their "board names," and you end up shooting the shit, grabbing a drink, and shooting the shit, regardless of who's who and whatnot.
BTW - 7 parties without, IIRC, a single "incident" to date!

Turns out most of the dicks don't actually go to away or bowl games. Go figure.
I'll take that a step further most dicks don't go to home games either
Something like this might solve the problem--maintain anonymity and take care of the mults and the mini-me's.
Yes, the only party of mine that I couldn't attend, and it never would have happened had I been there I promise you that! [cheers]

Man...there are SO many funny, and/or God-awful, scenarios that could come out of set-up as such. Yikes.
Would it be in North, Central, or South Jersey?
A few things would be certain...
500 people would say they'd go
100 people will actually attend
90% of the attendees would come on and complain about the venue, food, drink prices, or some combination thereof.
Finally, at least one poster will suggest it be held at some obscure restaurant at least 250 miles from New Brunswick.
I'm totally in for the $40. But there are so many choices of whose nametag to wear, and then who to act like a jerk to.
Never forget a group of guys and gals walking into ACME Bar, night before The Insight Bowl, with "I AM RUTGERSAL" t-shirts in!
Bac has already started to complain about the chicken fingers at our "dinner" and we haven't even had it yet.
i've found that most posters that I've met are true gentlemen (and ladies). Most of the true characters didn't fit my mental image but some did. TV and Billy Stuggots for example are just as you'd imagine. Most others like Al and Manny would never be recognized if you didn't know who they were.
When you say "group", do you mean $160 worth of donations to our fundraiser or closer to $400-600 worth of donations?
Don't know, don't know why it really matters either, but maybe 10?

That's hilarious, maybe he could show up wearing a shirt that says "Penn state fan Reppin' jerzy"
But it's ok, he decided to go from Gonzaga to Rider
For several years, starting in the middle of the Shea Error, iirc, there were Rutgersfan.com tailgates and people wore name tags and it worked reasonably well, i.e., no brawls or lynchings. I also think they worked because it was a pretty small group of fanatics, since, back then, we didn't have that many fans - I used to only have 2 tix back then (have 14 now) and went to these tailgates because I could never find anyone to go to games with me, lol. While it was a little hokey, it was kind of fun meeting the people behind the screen names. If you wanted to really raise money, you could have a dunking booth. Where's Keith Burkert when you need him?
That's fantastic, however, there will NOT be name tags at any of my events (which I am partaking in...)! [cheers]
